Re: [MACTCL] TkMacOSXDrawbableWindow problem

[Alexander A. <ale...@gm...>]

Hi Kevin,

I am working to make Togl (you know the OpenGL interface for OpenGL) work
under Tk-Cocoa, the days of Carbon are over.
I am linking the Proposed Patch by Chimera :

http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/browser/trunk/foreign/Togl/togl-cocoa.patch

The problem is with TkMacOSXDrawbableWindowRef, this function does not exist
and as the patch info tell, you need a patch to Tk-Cocoa to expose the
window. So TkMacOSXDrawbableWindowRef is a custom function that one should
make.
What I did is to download the tarball of TCL/TK 8.5.9 backported for Cocoa
and write this function in tkMacOSXXStubs.c


WindowRef

TkMacOSXDrawableWindowRef(Drawable d){

    WindowRef windowRef = TkMacOSXDrawableWindow(d);

    return windowRef;

}

And compiled the tk framework.
Did I do the right thing?
Inspite of solving this issue instead of getting a drawable for OpenGL
window, I get a white window, OpenGL commands work but the problem is that
they are not rendered. Any suggestions on this?
Even if I solve this issue I will still need to include the tk framework
when I distribute my program since the program will search in the Tk
framework on another machine to find TkMacOSXDrawbableWindowRef.

Thanks,
Alexander.
